Abstract
Building collaborative partnerships with families and communities is the sixth quality area of the National Quality Standard (NQS). Families are regarded as a critical resource for educators and are 'the primary influence in their children's lives' (DEE WR, 2010, p. 103). Dr Fay Hadley and Dr Katey De Gioia from the Institute of Early Childhood, Macquarie University, explore why partnerships with families and communities really matter.
